Abstract

• The taxonomic studies on wild mushrooms from Hopone and Hsihseing Township, Southern Shan State have been undertaken. The study area is located between N' 20º 48' - 20º 53' and E' 97º 10' - 97º 15'. The wild mushrooms were collected from June to September, 2018. The 10 species of 8 genera belonging to 7 families and 4 order were collected, preserved, classified, identified and described. The collected species were identified as Helvella crispa (Scop.) Fr., Auricularia auricular-judage (Bull.) Wettst., Amanita caesarea (Scop.) Pers., Calvaria aurea (Fr.) Quel., Pleurotus lignatilis (Pers.) Rehdead & Ginns., Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quel., Schizophyllum commune (Fr.) Fr., Lactarius determinus Groger., Lactarius volemus Fr., Russula cyanoxantha (Schaeff.) Fr. and Russula delica Fr. The growing habitats of Auricularia auricular-judage (Bull.) Wettst. and Schizophyllum commune (Fr.) Fr. were on the decayed woods and the others were on the soil. An artificial key to the studied species was constructed and presented.
